Intro Dialog

a dark veil had settled upon the planet
as it settled into place
light had become nebulous
not many noticed or even cared
it had arrived unopposed and so it would remain

Dialog 03

|
|||
someone once said "these are times that try mens souls"
and someone prophesied "thick gloom" would cover the national groups
both statements are true
they are not fake news
there must be brighter days ahead
there will be brighter days ahead
if history repeats
evil will not prevail

Dialog 05
01:04
|
|||
does a child deserve to go to school
does a child deserve to play with friends
does a child deserve to sleep peacefully at night
without worry of being bombed
without fear that his family might be gassed
appartnely there are those that dont believe so
they rain down fear and death on young and old alike
all that matters to them it retention of power
who dies in the process is irrelevant

Act V Scene II
03:27
|
|||
it is the cause
it is the cause, O my soul,--
it is the cause
put out the light, and then put out the light
if i quench thee, thou flaming minister
i can again thy former light restore
should I repent me: but once put out thy light

Dialog 09

|
|||
could it be
in the 13th century
men had more rights
than in the 21st
one giant step backwards with the stroke of a pen
are things really better now than they were then
|

Magna Carta
04:16
|
|||
no free man shall be siezed or imprisoned
or stripped of his rights or posessions
or outlawed or exiled
or deprived of his standing in any way
nor will we proceed with force against him
or send others to do so
except by the lawful judgement of his equals
or by the law of the land

Dialog 11
01:13
|
|||
they trifle with the lives of those they dont know
little children, old men, entire families
they mean nothing to them
they are the lowly ones
the ones who wield no power, no influence
who will miss them, who will notice
who will care for the weeping child
stripped of his parents and siblings
sitting in his prison without walls
baba ayn 'ant', baba ayn 'ant' (father where are you)

Dialog 13
00:33
|
|||
the rain is falling
it should be refreshing in this desert land
but there is no refreshment
the rain is acrid, acid, choking, deadly
flee you families
the rain falls indiscriminately
the rain falls indiscriminately

Dialog 15
00:35
|
|||
for some life is filled with internecine days
there is no morning, no afternoon, no evening
for them they are only metaphors for suffering
the world averts its gaze
help is not forthcoming
so they help each other

go to school you children
bake bread you mothers
safeguard your families you fathers
ahebbak ya baba (love you father)
ahebbak ya mama (love you mother)
love your son, love your daughter
love your mother, love your father
love your sister, love your brother
who knows what tomorrow might bring

Qitta

|

where are you qitta
you loved me when no one else did
why did you leave me
when our home in a blinding flash
became white powder, warm snow, unbreathable air
i searched for you
but you were not there
will you not call out to me
with pleading voice
i will hear you
i will find you
i will rescue you
without you
were will i go, who will i turn to
who are these people
do they not care about you
no
i've lost you forever
who is to blame
those that inflict or those that turn away
perhaps i am to blame
to have believed the words of those i trusted
any attempt to describe my pain
would be a gross understatement

|
|||
if you cut us do we not bleed
if you flog us do we not hurt
if you kill us do we not wail
what is the space between us
1/5th em, 1/6th em ?
does it really matter
the space betwen us is graphene aerogel
we are all the same
